Most children learn better when they use as many of their senses as possible e.g. seeing, saying, hearing and touching.  Learning this way can help them store words in their memory. 

Little Books of Digraphs is an activity you can use with any of the digraph patterns your child has been learning.  It encourages the learner to think about the two different letters and what sound they represent when together in a word.  The more the child says it, the more likely they are to remember it.  It also helps the child to identify the digraph in the word and know that digraphs can be at the start or the end of a word.   

Click on the link below to see how to make a little book. Please note the digraph _ck is only found at the end of a word.
